The Charter movement

The Charter movement is better than the right-wing movement of superficially pro-Western followers of the would-be Shah, but it is a movement that does not raise the issue of multi-ethnic democratic representation of the multi-ethnic Iranian people, through a "body" of directly and freely elected representatives, as a direct revolutionary demand.

The Iranian people expect democracy and what do the opposition offer them?

Bonapartist monarchical pseudo-liberalism of the Right and radical semi-democracy of the Left, without either of them talking about a freely elected constitutional "body" of power.

The impasse theirs, of the right and the left Iranians.

----

Το κίνημα τής Χάρτας είναι καλύτερο από το δεξιό κίνημα των επιφανειακα φιλοδυτικών, ακόλουθων τού επίδοξου Σάχη, όμως είναι ένα κίνημα που δεν θέτει το ζήτημα για πολυεθνική δημοκρατική αντιπροσώπευση τού πολυεθνικού ιρανικού λαού, μέσω ενός σώματος άμεσα εκλεγμένων αντιπροσώπων, ως άμεσο επαναστατικό αίτημα.

Ο Ιρανικός λαός περιμένει δημοκρατία και τι του προσφέρουν οι τής αντιπολίτευσης;

Βοναπαρτιστικο μοναρχικό ψευτο-φιλελευθερισμό οι Δεξιοί και κοινωνικό δημοκρατισμό οι αριστεροί, χωρίς κανένας από τους δύο να μιλά για ελεύθερα εκλεγμένο συντακτικό σώμα εξουσίας.

Το αδιέξοδο δικό τους, των δεξιών και των αριστερών Ιρανών.

Kind of comical..

Kind of comical.

Separate grassroots movements sometimes want a useful transient relationship with the enemy of their enemy (who, transient lover, is not the best dude), but they receive criticism from other grassroots movements who do the same thing, but with the dude who is the enemy of the other dude (the dude who is in a temporary romantic relationship with the criticized).

The criticized's answer is that everyone does the same.

However, when the criticized comes to the position of the criticize, he does not say the same thing as what he said when he was criticized! He also says what his critics used to tell him.

We are all hypocrites, that's what I have to say.

The situation on the political stage of Iran's wider perceived opposition

The "Charter of Minimum Demands" presented by a multitude of trade union and social organizations in Iran, is a positive democratic step to create a broader democratic unity of leftist and progressive forces against the theocratic regime. 

However, it does not suggest the question of creating a constitutive constitutional assembly of freely elected representatives. 

In this sense the whole text is incomplete. 

On the other hand, the most sectarian, extreme Leninists, etc., who judge this Charter negatively, don't also raise the question of a freely elected democratic governing body of Iran, building this their inability to propose the correct no on the shyness of the left-wing democrats who drafted the Charter, but on their incurable sectarianism. 

The Iranian left is entrenched in an ideological system that promotes the shyness of democratic initiative or the sectarianism. 

However, the source of shy action is also sectarianism. n

The authors of the text of the Charter are also influenced by a dogmatic type of neo-Marxism that may seem satisfactory to the movement in the West as a neo-leftism that coexists normally with a mature bourgeois democracy, but this dogmatism does not meet the needs of a movement that has as its historical task also modern democracy.

---------

The situation on the political stage of Iran's wider perceived opposition is further complicated by the strange reappearance of a top security guard and torturer of the Shah's old regime at a demonstration. 

It is generally considered that this appearance had a symbolic character and sent messages from the monarchists and the would-be Shah himself, but to whom? 

Was the would-be Shah aware of this strange reappearance? 

Was it done with his approval? 

Could it be that an essentially insignificant event, was exploited by the Russian Putinist and Iranian theocratic propaganda machines to create a complete alienation between the secular right/extreme right and the rest of the (left, democratic, centrist) wing of the Iranian opposition?

For 2 years, but also now, since the beginning of the new movement in Iran, I have said that there is a special propagandistic collaboration between Russian Putinists and Iranian theocrats so that, when there is appearance of far-right elements "next to" the Iranian movement, to become "useful objects" of propaganda campaign to slandering the whole movement. I can prove this that I have predicted this and I have said this. I asked the Iranian friends in Left to keep calm, but I see that if there is a theocratic and Russian trap, they are already trapped. Does what I say mean that the royalists are justified? No. 

Does this mean that surely the would-be Shah has also fallen prey to a provocation trap? No. The Shah and his followers, as well as the semi-liberal circles around the Shah, have shown that they have clear Bonapartist authoritarian aspirations, since they do not openly talk about a representative parliamentary sovereign democratic system. Neither did the would-be Shah separate himself from his father's crimes, nor did he separate himself from the torturers of Savak.

---

There is no political scene as complex as the Iranian one. 

Vertigo of multiple contrasts forming a maze of possibilities.

To say my stereotype, Iran is the land of multiple mirrors.

I hope the left and the centrist forces succeed, that's all I can say.

---

The revolution is in the streets, it is not "begging for something from the West" but also it does not keep equal distances between "Eurasia" and the West. 

Because whoever keeps these equal "anti-imperialist" distances, ultimately does not keep real equal distances, it doing the favour of "Eurasia", i.e. Eurasianism.

Why is he doing that? because of ideological virginity?

I hope that's it, and that he doesn't harbor hopes of future alliances with the emerging Hitlers of the East.

--

I read, but I hope it is a rumour, that the European Parliament has invited as a speaker the would-be, and probably far-right, Shah.

See now what is the difference, for example, between the USA and the European Union.

The Americans (capitalist-imperialists) support whoever it is convenient for them to support, without being so strict in their bourgeois ideological preferences, and without raising their ideological stature until they become the judges of the universe, without on the other hand avoiding their own messianic or other bad moralisms.

In the Iran issue there has been support for the would-be Shah, also for the People's Mujahideen (MEK), which was founded as a left-wing Islamic anti-imperialist organization that killed American agents and ended up, after an unacceptable alliance with Saddam Hussein, having a strategic relationship of support from circles of the US Republican party (no offense to them by me).

Also the US has generally helped others, centrists, groups and personalities, and as a western country has certainly offered political asylum and a well-meaning hospitality and acceptance to many known and unknown Iranians and Kurds.

In general, the USA plays with everyone and everything, and of course as a superpower it also plays games with the theocratic elite, especially the so-called reformers.

Behind and beside everything, of course, there is a continuous economic game of capital, legal or semi-legal or illegal activities, the well-known of capitalism.

What is Europe doing? (we mean the European Union).

Similar things, almost the same, but by adding we would say that there is help from state and European institutions and civil societies not exclusively to the Iranian and Kurdish leftists, but nevertheless the Iranian and Kurdish leftists feel perhaps in the territory of the European Union somewhat like at home.

All good so far.

And so a moment comes the European Union, this undefined Thing, and after supporting the Iranian democrats, in general the anti-establishment ones, says in its broadest "wisdom" the irresistible, and finally unaccountable, "maybe we should call prince (would-be Shah), to his make a speech in the European Parliament?".

These people, if this invitation is valid and it is not a rumor, they are idiots, they are dumb, they are stupid lobbyists, scumbags, small-minded people.

They commit the politics and the name of Europe and its citizens to the promotion of a successor of a bloodthirsty regime, who indeed does not guarantee a smooth democratic transition from a theocratic regime to a parliamentary democracy, but plays with all possible bonapartist semi-dictatorial semi-fascist scenarios succession of regime from another regime.

There was a networking of the monarchists and the so-called experts of the European institutions, who fell like a ripe fruit, something like the "unfortunate" Greek MEP?

I hope the information I am conveying to you is not valid.

But when one looks at and compares European with American and British bourgeois politics, one sees the difference in the level of power, seriousness, coherence and simultaneous multiplicity in strategic thinking and action between the two main pillars of the West's international dominance.

The bastions of the West are not, therefore, the carnivals of the European Union, they are the USA, NATO and Great Britain.

Very general conclusion.

It is known that Khomeini returned to Iran to take power on an Air France plane, we also know that he was playing games with both French capital and American capital to prevent the rise of leftist and communist forces after the imminent fall of the Shah.
At that time the West believed, rightly if one looks at it cynically, that such a rise would benefit the Soviet Union.
All of these correctly reflect some aspects of the rise of theocrats to power, but on the other hand, through this narrative, when it is absolutized, we forget the equally important other side of the political and economic reality that was signaled and recommended by this triumphant return of the dark Imam in "his" unfortunate country.
The maneuvering of the West and the naivety of its pragmatistic anti-Soviet cynicism did not leave it unscathed in the end, when it was revealed that the dark Imam and his faction did indeed aim, and succeeded, at creating a harsh dark and reactionary capitalist theocratic regime which indeed it was independent and hostile towards the Western world and Western imperialism.
Iranian leftists will of course object to this fact saying that this regime continued to have capitalist dealings with Western capitalists, etc.
But this does not negate the aforementioned.
We should not judge the Iranian theocrats from an assumed "common value" that consist of opposition to Western imperialism, as if they abandoning it because they are not consistent with the "untouchable" that this supposed value means.
If we do this, it will be as if we are assuming that indeed the opposition in the West and also in imperialism in general should be intrinsically good and benevolent, the "Indeed Good", which these Islamists supposedly betray with their parallel dealings with the "Western Enemy".
The very leftist criticism against the Iranian theocrats on the basis of (usually always) ontological anti-imperialism does not reveal their supposed inconsistency but our possible involvement with a dangerous politically metaphysical ideology called "anti-imperialism".
--
 
Very general conclusion:
Anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism usually means an ideological expression of a capitalist state opposition on the part of the weaker capitalism and state.
However, the cure from this wrong positioning of the problem, which concerns the overcoming of imperialism without this overcoming falling into "anti-imperialism/anti-colonialism", is not a reductionism in the general "anti-capitalism" in a competitive distinction from "anti-imperialism".
Therefore?
What is the medicine for critical theory?
I don't know.

The imminent democratic revolution..

 
The imminent democratic revolution in Iran has begun, still faintly, and must make way by rapidly and relentlessly breaking through the jungle of theocrats and Bonapartists, monarchists and sectarian Leninists, which surrounds it from its first moment.
To revolution, put aside all the Bonapartist delusionalists who think that the history of the abuse of the democratic and socialist ideal can be repeat forever.
---
The great democratic revolution in Russia is not called the "October revolution", ''October'' was the Bonapartist coup of the pseudo-communist Bolsheviks, which overthrew the democratic revolution and established from the first moment a state-capitalist totalitarian system of exploitation of the working class, extermination of the middle class and the poor peasantry, prohibition of free political activity, prohibition of the freedom of intellectuals, and had as its ideological culmination, as a Bonapartist coup, the calumniation (for centuries) of the sacred idea of a classless socialist society.

Cogitations. February 19, 2022, Facebook.

February 19, 2022
 
When ''the'' dialectic ends in a fiasco, ''it'' accuses the fiasco of being "anti-dialectical".
 
Dialectical philosophers feel no guilt.
Others are always to blame,
or rather the "other".
 
The dialectic of fiasco
is a bigger fiasco.
 
The dialectic after the fiasco does not always call itself dialectical.
Known for ''its'' ability to put on masks.
 
Everything is calm in the dialectical consciousness.
It will find the explanation for fiasco through a dialectic, of course.
 
Ignoring the fiasco is the infamous achievement of these philosophers who declared to their astonished dazzled audience that from now on nothing will be overlooked. 
Oh dialectic of the new glorious times! you did it again! you sanctify in every way the neglect and sophistry that gives its "foundation".  
 
Looking for the right starting point for interpreting thought forms, you run the risk of never interpreting them, you may even avoid a more substantial contact with these forms.
However, there is a valid requirement from this search for the right start, in the sense that in this way - even if it means avoiding "contact" with this "object" - you can express a resistance of yourself to a a specific form of thought or an entire era of thought.
So, basically it is like preventing an alienation of your thought from its already existing beginnings.
When this strange struggle is over, you can now come in contact with the "object - thought form" you wanted to interpret.
So you probably know why you wanted to interpret it and many times you find that you wanted to interpret it because through this interpretation you wanted to get rid of some theological type of bonds and chains that had been imposed on you by the "yours community" as sacred preconceptions.
Now you know that you were actually resisting to something that was for you a "foreign body of thought" and which the leaders of this community had introduced into your "body of thought". 
But why did I say all this? 
What was the reason? 
I said this to confess to you that in fact I always saw Hegelianism as something that did not make sense, even when I was obliged as a Marxist to respect it and to believe that it contained a truth that was valid for my (then) community.
Something was protecting me and I could never go any further. 
Something? Myself. 
 
There is an absolute suspicion that does not necessarily lead to paranoia.
You do not want to believe in assumptions about a redemptive future, no matter how many conditions and guarantees are in front of you.
No, I will not sign any contract, you say, I will not give my consent to any strategic vision and idea, even if its represantives are obviously good and are able to sacrifice their sweet lives to do what they say.
You ask for something more than guarantees and good intentions, you ask for an image of reality that does not mean something so easy, so ideal, so beautiful, that it probably means an unfulfilled wish.
You have no problem with crazy desires and great loves, you have a problem with their bitter cancellations that could have been prevented.
 
When they start looking for you, do not forget to tell them that you have already left.
Tehran is the destination.
 
Between one phrase and another phrase there is another phrase.
What a fuck, fuck them babe!
 
You are hegemonic when the others translate you, before you translate these others.
 
You are hegemonic when you interpret before you are interpreted.
 
In addition to the primary accumulation of Capital there is (in parallel, but not identically) the primary accumulation of Power and Sovereignty, which always takes place as the formation of a separate world-wide sovereign metropolitan pole-world through and beyond the ''individual'' national state powers.
The western world has already been formed as a separate sovereign pole-world, so it has made the primary accumulation in both the economic and the political-military field.
The non-Western world, especially the "east", is still ''finishing'' the incomplete yet primary accumulation of power and sovereignty while it has completed the primary accumulation of capital, although we do not know whether it will end it as a metropolitan accumulation of power and dominance [as a one distinct metropolitan sovereign pole-world].
The primary accumulation of power and sovereignty means, among others (such as the development of nation-states) blood, war, continuous rearrangements of borders and state territories.
It is a dehumanizing process that has ethnic and other minorities as its first victims, as long as the working class maintains a class waiting attitude.
Just because this process contains all these "necessary" dehumanizing socio-historical "stages" as historically "necessary" does not mean that these are "rights" in the case of the emerging capitalist East.
The fact that the West has committed them is not an element of a sin that must be punished, and therefore does not mean that Western societies, and not just their bourgeoisie, have no right to defend themselves to stop this rotten dynamic.
The argument of the post-colonialist ideologues that the West is sinful, and therefore that the fanatics, emerging imperialists, nationalist-fundamentalists of the East also have the right to do what the West did in its beginnings, is a rotten argument.
The ''fact'' that my "grandfather" was probably a Western colonialist, and that the West formed [in the way we know] "itself" as an imperialist supranational international pole, does not mean that we, the new Westerners citizens, we have a moral obligation to tolerate the repetition by the eastern rulers of the crimes committed by this supposed "grandfather" of ours.
There is a historical analogy, and a similar historical ''necessity'' to the formation of a distinct new hegemonic pole, but we are obliged to restrain it and fight it from the point of view of our own national, class and cultural interests.  
 
One can write a dictionary of the demonological categorizations used by Marxists against their ideological enemies inside and outside the left.
These are faithful people who theologize in everything, but have a lie on their forehead that says:
"I am an atheist".
 
The famous cultural revolution of the Maoist Red Guards ushered in a new era of pseudo-Marxist Stalinist paranoia, in which the absence of internal enemies in a ''wannabe'' socialist system was transformed into the production of these enemies within the working classes. 
Of course, this paranoia has always existed in the wider (and not only in the Stalinist) Marxist "camp", in the form of racist anti-petty bourgeoisie ideology. Any internal ideological opponent within the left could be accused of being a petty bourgeois, with no criteria other than some possible "class descent" or a bad habit of reading ''more than normal'' books or wanting to have a personal life that is not completely transparent and entirely dedicated to the struggle. 
Of course the accusers themselves may have had the same intellectual habits, and a well-hidden personal life, but that did not matter, since the very absurdity of the class slander, its non-foundation, is precisely the method by which one can use it in a slander and ultimately legal prosecution, which sometimes resulted it in the execution of individuals or even masses of people.
Until the specific paranoia of Maoism, however, there was no greater systematization of irrationality, the sin of being supposedly a petty bourgeois was confined as an active sin in the phases of "socialist primary accumulation" and in individual persecutions.
With Maoism there was a Puritan radicalization of the theological pseudo-class persecution and all the intellectual sub-classes were directly guilty just because they were intellectuals, regardless of whether some of them were hungry and starving or were made up of workers without property. Are you an intellectual? are you a scientist so you are rather bourgeois or petty bourgeois etc. As long as the class struggle continues so you are also a class enemy. The very doctrine of the continuation of the class struggle within a society that has supposedly abolished class exploitation, even as an early classless society, has this significance: to justify the continuation of state repression within a society in which there is supposedly no class exploitation etc. In order to find these potential exploiters, a new type of paranoid "class theory" must be constructed that exacerbates the already existing anti-petty-bourgeois paranoia of Marxism to the point of absolute paranoia.
It is not difficult to understand that none of these things have anything to do with a real working-class socialism and with the working class itself.
But the problem with the radical sects is bigger, and it is not limited to the Maoists.
There is a broader mentality and ideology that is rooted in the popular movement and infects all its tendencies, rather expressing the historical weakness and immaturity of this movement.
That is why even today, despite the decline of Stalinism-Maoism, we see these ideological and cultural ills continue to exist in ideological "spaces" that are not Stalinist.
 
A basic principle of political immorality is not to accept any strategic mistake of those who formed and then those who implemented a strategic idea. The "others" are always to blame. ''This'' can to call itself "science".
 
There will be a revolution in Iran.
It is as certain as the law of universal gravitation.

On this point, to the leader of the Hekmatists..

A general idea or ideology that extends its claim to political power throughout the human world must contain intrinsically a controlling conceptual-ideological self-limitation, which would correspond as a political act to a corresponding material self-limitation expressed in a free-for-all demokratic institution.
I see no such thing in the "communists" of the only-and-only generalized workers' councils or soviets.
The generality and abstract generic power of the worker's communist idea without a (conceptual and material) democratic-institutional self-limitative counterbalance, can very easily turn into another version of class exploitative tyranny.
--
 
On this point, to the leader of the Hekmatists: the patriotism of the Ukrainians, who are facing a conquering force that aims at the appropriation of their country's resources but also at the assimilative disappearance of the Ukrainian nation, is, as patriotism, an exclusively "bourgeois-capitalist" affair of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie?
I don't expect a straight answer, something like "yes, that's it".
Surely this leader would also condemn the Russian invasion, but not forgetting to remind that "in the final analysis" capitalism is generally to blame (or more generally the system of exploitation, etc.), that is, in simple moralistic language, everyone is equally to blame, meaning "all nationalisms" (they are to blame for the same).
Correctly. I don't have much to add to this supreme almost transcendental truth, I am left speechless again, especially when I realize once again that when you have with you a right of such general force of judgment, no one can catch you from anywhere, simply because even without invoking of "patriotism" (you flatten it like a marxist paver) you still have the possibility, if you want, on the basis of a non-racist workers' state run by your internationalist party, to prevent the Kurds, again for one reason for good, from seceding from "socialist Iran". It's simple, it doesn't take much ''patriotic'' effort, you will accuse them of..nationalism. Marxism is a very powerful religion..indeed.
 
اسخ به سئوال دوست عزیزی از ایران بنام مهران در مورد وطن
مهران: با پیشرفت جوامع بشری ناسیونالیسم و ارزشهای قومی و قبیله ای حتا مرزهای ژیوپالیتیک بی رنگ و کم اهمیت میشوند .ولی متاسفانه در تبلیغات بورژوازی ، کمونیست ها افرادی خائن ،وطن فروش معرفی میشوند که چاقو برداشته و می خواهند کشور را تجزیه و تیکه پاره کنند آنها دلسوز خانه بزرگ ما ایران نیستند، ناسیونالیسم را لگد میزنند ولی برای استقلال و یک پارچگی کردستان خودکشی می کنند ، فرهنگ و سنت های مردم را به نیشخند میگیرند ..ارزشی برای فرد و یک کارگر زحمتکش قائل نیستند ، بیشتر به حرکتهای توده ای یا حرکت گله ای مردم توجه دارند . در ایدیولوژی ایشان ارزشهای اخلاقی ، محبت ، مهرورزی ، لطافت و ظرافت کمرنگ است
بیشتر خردگرا ، خشک و ماشینی هستند ...
این گفتار بالا را پاسخ بفرمایید. هنگامیکه در سرود ای ایران ، خواننده می خواند : مهر تو از دل برون کنم... پس رفقای گرامی برای کدام سرزمین و خانه انگیزه خدمت دارند؟
حمید تقوائی: انگیزه ما خدمت به مردم است و نه آب و خاکی که وطن نامیده میشود. مهر مردم با مهر وطن نه تنها هم ارز نیست بلکه این دو نقطه مقابل هم هستند.
بورژوازی همیشه و در همه جای دنیا منافع خاکی و مادی اش را پشت مقولاتی نظیر قدوسیت وطن و کشور و تمامیت ارضی و آب و خاک پرستی پنهان کرده است و حمله اش به کمونیستها نیز دقیقا به این علت است که این منافع زمینی و مادی یعنی استثمار کارگران وطن و تصاحب و غارت منابع و معادن وطن و سلطه بلامنازع اش بر بازار وطنی کار و کالا، را از "خطر سوسیالیسم" مصون بدارد. این وطن پرستی بورژوائی هیچ ربطی به انس و علاقه توده مردم به محل زندگی و جامعه خود ندارد. منشا آن سودآوری است و نه احترام به فرهنگ و علایق و ارزشهای انسانی "هموطنان". همه جنگها و لشکرکشیها و نسلکشیها در تاریخ معاصر - از دو جنگ جهانی گرفته تا جنگهای محلی و منطقه ای - همیشه با پرچم وطن پرستی و دفاع از میهن در برابر بیگانگان توجیه شده است. جنگهائی که برای حفظ و بسط منافع اقتصادی بورژوازی حاکم در این کشورها برپا میشوند و از خون "هموطنان" مایه میگذارند. کاربرد ناسیونالیسم در زمان صلح هم دامن زدن به تعصبات ملی برای پرده پوشی تبعیضات و نابرابریهای طبقاتی در جامعه و جا زدن منافع طبقه سرمایه دار بجای منافع همه "هموطنان" است و بس. به این دلایل است که وطن پرستی در نقطه مقابل انساندوستی قرار میگیرد.
شما همین امروز در تبلیغات نیروهای راست، اعم از سلطنت طلبان و جمهوریخواهان و ملی اسلامیون حرف مشخصی در دفاع از مردم پیدا نمیکنید. در مورد حقوق بشر کلی بافی میکنند اما تا دلتان بخواهد در قدوسیت و اهمیت تمامیت ارضی و پرچم و آب و خاک، در ادعای مالکیت ابدی ازلی بر "سه جزیره" ، در دفاع اتشین از "خلیج همیشه فارس" و در خط و نشان کشیدن برای هر نیروی سیاسی که این نوع مقدسات را برسمیت نشناسد سنگ تمام میگذارند. هموطن هم به دو نوع تقسیم میشود: فارس ها که نسلشان به "نژاد پاک آریائی" و کورش و داریوش و امشاسپندان میرسد و غیر فارسها که اگر با موقعیت خود بعنوان شهروندان درجه دو بسازند "مرزبانان غیور" ایران هستند اما اگر این موقعیت را نپذیرند و برای رفع ستم ملی بپا بخیزند به سرعت به حضیض "تجزیه طلب" و "وطن فروش" و "خائن به وطن" سقوط میکنند! افغانیها و دیگر مهاجرین ساکن ایران هم که اصلا بحساب نمی آیند! این معنی واقعی وطن پرستی است.
معیارها و ارزشهای ما کمونیستها از جنس دیگری است. اساس سیاست و دکترین ما انسان و انسانیت است، آزادی و برابری و رفاه انسان است، و نه نژاد و وطن و ملیت و آب و خاک. نیروهای راست نه تنها دفاع از انسانها را به دفاع از هموطنان تقلیل میدهند، یا در واقع مسخ و تحریف میکنند، بلکه منظورشان از حمایت از "هموطن" هم چیزی بجز دفاع از تمامیت ارضی و پرچم و ایرانیت و ملیت نیست. به همین دلیل است که در عرصه مبارزه علیه اعدام، در دفاع از حقوق کودک، در دفاع از حقوق پناهندگان، در مبارزه علیه حجاب و آپارتاید جنسی و کلا بی حقوقی و ستم فاحشی که بر زنان روا میشود، در مبارزه علیه ستم ملی و برخورداری همه "مرزبانان غیور" از حقوق شهروندی برابر با "ملت همیشه فارس" از جمله حق سخن گفتن و تحصیل کردن و نوشتن به زبان مادری خود، در دفاع از زندانیان سیاسی و کلا در همه عرصه های مشخص مبارزه در دفاع از حقوق و آزادی و رفاه انسانهای ساکن جغرافیای ایران مستقل از ملیت و نژاد و زبان و محل تولدشان، عرصه هائی که ما کمونیستهای کارگری همیشه در صف اول مبارزه بوده ایم، نشانی از نیروهای راست نمی بینید. ظاهرا ابراز وفاداری به "دموکراسی" و "حقوق بشر"، که اسم رمز تعلق به اردوگاه سرمایه داری غرب است، کافی است. مبارزه مشخص این دموکراسی و حقوق بشر پناهان - آنهم حقوق بشری که ظاهرا کورش کبیر سردمدارش بوده است- از شمشیرزدن در دفاع از تعلق سه جزیره به مام میهن و دفاع از "خلیج همیشه فارس" و قدوسیت تمامیت ارضی و خط و نشان کشیدن علیه تجزیه طلبان فراتر نمیرود. هر جا هم حرفی علیه اعدام - که بیانیه حقوق بشر در موردش سکوت کرده است- و یا در دفاع از سکولاریسم زده اند تحت فشار و مبارزه جنبش چپ بوده است. ازین بابت باید خوشحال بود اما حقیقت اینست که اهداف و ارزشها و معیارهای هویتی و خصلت نمای جنبش ناسیونالیستی تماما در نقطه مقابل انسانیت و خواستها و نیازهای انسانی افراد جامعه قرار میگیرد.
در بخش دوم این سئوالتان از قول نیروهای راست مینویسید که کمونیستها "ارزشی برای فرد
و یک کارگر زحمتکش قائل نیستند ، بیشتر به حرکتهای توده ای یا حرکت گله ای مردم توجه دارند .
در ایدیولوژی ایشان ارزشهای اخلاقی ، محبت ، مهرورزی ، لطافت و ظرافت کمرنگ است
بیشتر خردگرا ، خشک و ماشینی هستند ..."
امیدوارم با توضیحاتی که در رابطه با وطن پرستی و کلا ارزشها و معیارهای جنبش راست دادم معنی واقعی "ارزشهای اخلاقی و محبت و مهرورزی و لطافت" نیروهای بورژوائی هم روشن شده باشد. ظاهرا امثال پینوشه و سوهارتو و شیخهای کویت و عربستان سعودی و جرج بوش و ریگان و مارگارت تاچر و میلتون فریدمن و دکترین ریاضت کشی افتصادی و توحش بازار آزاد و همه چیز در خدمت سود خیلی مهر ورز و با محبت و لطیف و اخلاقی و غیر ماشینی است! اما کمونیستهائی که میگویند اساس اقتصاد باید نیازهای انسانها و شعار "به هر کس باندازه نیازش" باشد و نه سود و سودآوری، "ماشینی و خشک و خشن" هستند! ببیند چطور تبلیغات جنگ سردی همه چیز را وارونه جلوه داده است. باید به این تبلیغات چی های جنگ سردی گفت حتی اگر میخواهید کارنامه امثال استالین و دیگر نمایندگان سرمایه داری دولتی را بحساب کمونیستها بنویسید لطفا اول یک سوزن بخودتان بزنید و بعد یک جوالدوز به کمونیستها. حتی در مقایسه کارنامه سرمایه داری بازار آزاد با سرمایه داری دولتی نوع روسی سابقه کمپ غرب - از جنایات هیتلر و دولت اسرائیل تا قساوت خونتاهای نظامی آمریکای لاتین و تا به آتش اتمی کشیدن هیروشیما و ناکازاکی و تا تاچریسم و ریگانیسم و فریدمنیسم، تماما گوی سبقت را از رقبای کمپ روسی اش - در تمامی زمینه های مربوط به مهرورزی و لطافت و ارزشهای اخلاقی و غیره ربوده است! از این نظر آن نیروئی که تماما به بشریت بدهکار است بورژوازی و جنبش ناسیونالیستی است و نه کمونیسم کارگری و جنبش کمونیستی.
حمید تقوایی
 
Tell us, Oh great leader of Hekmatism!
If there is no freely elected representative body of the whole (of socialist, or capitalist damn it!) society, and not just"worker's councils", who will control the leader if he wants to condemn one or the other as a "nationalist"?
Could it be that means, that beyond the democratic or non-democratic political bodies that pronounce judgments, there is some objectively grounded transcendent entity in which the correct judgments of judgment are de facto located?
Nothing else? No.. But this thing reminds me of..something.
What is it?
